Chapter 22 Beast Fighting Tournament: On-the-spot Killing
The morning sunlight streamed into the dormitory. Mo Fan had gotten up early and was meditating on a chair on the balcony when a handsome, flamboyant blond man opened the door and walked in.
"Hey, you're here early, buddy. Looks like you've been staying in the dorm for a few days?" The flamboyant blond man placed his luggage on the bed opposite Mo Fan's.
"Since I had nothing to do, I decided to go to the school first and enjoy the campus scenery. Putting everything else aside, there are so many girls." Mo Fan walked in from the dormitory balcony.
"Zhao Manyan, majoring in Light!" The flamboyant blond man stretched out his hand.
"Mo Fan, Summoner." Mo Fan shook hands with him amicably.
"Looks like our dorm is going to be a mixed-department dorm." After exchanging a few words with Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan went off to flirt with the senior girls. Mo Fan, on the other hand, didn't have the time for that; the mental world was too vast for the magic department to finish.
When his roommates came in later and learned that he was a summoner, they all treated him differently. No one bothered him, because even the weakest summoned beasts were stronger than those of them, who were just beginner mages.
As for the guy surnamed Lu who took Zhao Manyan's bed, he would naturally voluntarily leave. In the evening, it was time for the Summoning Department to hold a freshman meeting, where everyone would meet up. This was also a rare time for Mo Fan to rest. Whenever he had free time, seeing the magic department that filled his mind, a mysterious force would always push him to cultivate.
There were only seven people in the Summoning Department, and they arrived quickly. Jiang Yunming, the head of the Summoning Department, introduced the future class format to everyone, as well as the fact that the top two performers in the welcome program would receive Beast Blood as a reward, which was a good supplement for dimensional summoned beasts.
The summoning class freshmen meet-up was short. There were no pretty girls, and the seven grown men had nothing to talk about. After finishing their business, everyone left.
Back in the dorm, Zhao Manyan's gaze remained fixed on Mo Fan. "Hey Mo Fan, it seems like your summoning department is in trouble?"
"You mean the beast fighting tournament?" Mo Fan replied.
"Yes, with only seven of you, it won't be easy to deal with the whole school!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
"There will be trouble, but it won't be mine. Just wait and see, I'll crush the whole school that day." Mo Fan was very confident.
"So confident? Then congratulations on becoming a big star in the Qing Campus!" Zhao Manyan climbed onto the bed, assuming that Mo Fan was joking.
Mo Fan continued to cultivate on the balcony at night, mainly because the balcony was quiet and undisturbed. His spatial and shadow magic were not far from the intermediate level, and he would definitely break through within a month. He also needed to focus on mastering the star map of the wind magic.
On the day of the welcome program, Mo Fan dressed very handsomely, all in black, and looked somewhat aloof. With his abilities, it would be too embarrassing for him to need to flirt with girls.
Upon arriving at the Qingdou Arena, Mo Fan parted ways with his roommates and reunited with the remaining six members of the Summoning Department backstage. The arena was packed with people, and there were countless girls with fair skin and long legs—too many to take in.
The noise in the arena subsided, and Dean Xiao began to speak. As a forbidden spell mage skilled in water, lightning, and light magic, his speech was quite eloquent. Before long, the main event, the beast fighting competition, began.
The freshmen with some skill are all looking forward to beating up the summoned beasts of the summoning class freshmen, making a name for themselves, attracting the attention of a few pretty girls, and enjoying themselves.
Luo Song, who was in the audience, spotted Mo Fan immediately. He had suffered a great loss, and he was now looking on with schadenfreude at the eager freshmen. Xu Zhaoting also saw Mo Fan.
The Beast Fighting Tournament officially began. The first to go was Hai Dafu, who possessed the White Armored War Beast. His dimensional summoned beast looked very intimidating. In the end, Hai Dafu defeated fifteen people.
The second to take the stage was a short, thin young man who summoned a young ghost wolf beast. It was quite good that he took down two people. Zheng Bingxiao, who possessed the Rock Demon skill, lasted longer and took down twenty-five people.
Next up was Wang Liting's Bone Eater, an extremely ferocious dimensional summon. However, it encountered the mid-level ice-type Rosson. Faced with the mid-level ice lock, the Bone Eater's flying advantage was completely lost, and it failed to kill a single one.
The remaining two tried to attack from both sides, but they were still no match for Rosson, who had mid-level strength. At this point, only Mo Fan remained of the seven summoners. Seeing Mo Fan step onto the stage, Rosson decisively stepped down to avoid being embarrassed.
Mo Fan walked to the center of the arena and looked up at Dean Xiao above. "Dean Xiao, our Summoning Department needs to kill a hundred people to keep our original resources. How many people do we need to kill to seize all the resources of the entire department?"
"Two hundred people. As long as you take down two hundred people, all the resources of the department are yours." Dean Xiao answered decisively. This rule was naturally something he made up on the spot. He was the dean, so he could do whatever he wanted.
"Then I'm relieved. Everyone here, I'm a bit greedy, so I'll have to offend you." Mo Fan smiled slyly. As soon as he said this, the entire fighting hall was agitated, and most of the freshmen wanted to rush up and beat Mo Fan to a pulp.
However, many people are still self-aware enough to know that if they lose the fight, they won't have any fame and will have to pay for medical expenses, which would be a huge loss!
The first team to enter was Li Junwei's five-man squad. "Kid, in all my years, I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you."
"Hey, you met me today," Mo Fan replied with a smile.
"If I don't beat your summoned beast to a pulp today, I'll change my name backwards." Li Junwei made a threat, but first pretended to be respectful.
"As you wish." A moon-white star trail flashed in Mo Fan's hand, and a dark blue figure leaped out from the dimensional rift. The Dark Wolf Beast landed steadily in front of Mo Fan.
"Old Wolf, fight well today. You can choose any high-level wolf bloodline. Which wolf demon do you fancy? Kill it on the spot." Mo Fan's words excited the Ghost Wolf Beast. Just for the "kill it on the spot" part, it decided to go for it.
Li Junwei and his group of five cooperated quite well, employing all five elements: wind, water, thunder, fire, and earth. The Ghost Wolf Beast pounced on the wind-elemental freshman first, but missed its first attack, and its second claw was blocked by the water element.
The advanced-stage Shadow Wolf Beast was very powerful. Its level 3 Water Defense skill did not stop its attack. The Wind-type newcomer took a solid hit from its claw and lost its fighting ability. The Thunder-type newcomer's Thunder Seal was also easily dodged by the Shadow Wolf Beast.
The enhanced version of the flying sand and stones forced Li Junwei to use his plant-type shield magic tool, but it was not enough. The Ghost Wolf Beast had already rushed in front of the four of them, and the remaining four had no choice but to leave the field.
"Next batch!" Mo Fan said, as if he were checking people at a shopping mall.
Five more people took to the field, only to be easily eliminated by the Ghost Wolf Beast. One group after another followed, and finally, a member of a noble family took to the field: Zhuang Lifeng, a member of the Zhuang family. He was skilled in wind magic and his skills were proficient, so the Ghost Wolf Beast was unable to defeat him for a while.
His teammate's level 3 fire spell successfully hit the Ghost Wolf Beast, but it was of little use, only causing minor injuries. The Ghost Wolf Beast then turned to attack the female fire mage who had ambushed him, but was entangled by Zhuang Lifeng's plant magic.
The skill combination was good, but still not enough. Under the full power of the Ghost Wolf Beast, the vines around it were torn apart, and the female fire mage was directly knocked away. Then the second and the third, and soon only Zhuang Lifeng was left.
Suddenly, Zhuang Lifeng discovered a new world. Mo Fan, who was standing behind the Ghost Wolf Beast, was much easier to deal with; one vine could send him flying.
